  The Time Machine 1960

  ★★★½ Watched by vinnycenzo 28 Apr 2022

  We watched this film in my English class during end-of-year testing since we already read the book earlier this year and I thought this film was a huge step up from the book. Now, to be fair, I didn’t like the book so it wasn't too difficult for the movie to top it, however, what I really appreciated here was that the movie improved upon what I thought to be the book's biggest issue.

  Murder on the Orient Express 2017

  ★★★½ Watched by vinnycenzo 29 Jan 2022 1

  This movie had an impressive cast and a mystery that actually interested me. Our detective character can notice every little detail so it makes it pretty cool to see him put the pieces together. The movie's conclusion is satisfying and answers every question viewers still had at this point in the film. While the movie provides a compelling mystery that pays attention to the details, it also leans into comedy way too often. The movie has the dark tone that…
